A distributed storage system includes multiple resource nodes each having associated storage media. The resource nodes are configured to operate a first protocol between the resource nodes that exchanges availability and performance information for storage elements in the associated storage media. The resource nodes also operate a second protocol that dynamically distributes and redistributes data between the different resource nodes based on the availability and performance information for the storage elements. Relative distances may be identified between the different resource nodes and the second protocol may weight the availability and performance information based on the relative distances. The second protocol also may identify types of unshared use, shared use, and concurrent use for different portions of the data and distribute the portions of the data to other resource nodes based on the identified types of use. |
